Hollabrunner Minoring campaign: Immediate aid for floods affected

The municipality of Hollabrunn recently handed over its first financial support from the fundraiser to affected institutions and private individuals. In view of the devastating floods in Oberfellabrunn and Aumühlgasse, which were declared a disaster area in the municipality, the authorities reacted quickly. Mayor Alfred Babinsky initiated the fundraising campaign to help those who go beyond what is usually covered by insurance and disaster funds.

As reported, the region experienced massive rainfall between 16 and 18 August, which led to serious floods. This affects the facilities such as the sun roof, which suffer a lot from the consequences of the water masses. Sonja Dürnsteiner, the commercial director, tells of dramatic scenes. The Runzenbach stepped over the banks and transformed the day care center into a mud field, whereby the amounts of water there stood up to 70 centimeters high. Your elevators, the heating and the entire ground floor inventory were destroyed. The damage is estimated on an amount in the six -figure area, and a complete restoration will be used for several months.

The riding school needs help

In addition, there was serious damage in the Reitzentrum Hollabrunn, which was also the victim of the storm. Martina Wenzel, operator of the center, reported on the water levels that had affected all riding spaces and stables. At a recently celebrated event in honor of the tenth anniversary of the theme path "In the traces of the basement cat" was also asked for donations to support the necessary repairs. "At least we have one roof over our heads, but many have lost everything," said Wenzel modestly and appealed to the solidarity of the community.

The situation continues to require solidarity to support the difficult to support fellow citizens. As the numerous reports show, the community stands behind those affected and shows solidarity.
